Families are ‘ignoring’ the Government’s advice to avoid booking holidays to countries on the amber list, Ryanair’s boss has revealed. Michael O’Leary told The Mail on Sunday that his airline had seen a huge surge in demand for summer holidays over the past two weeks. He said Ryanair had already taken 1.75 million bookings for this summer and into September, despite the Government ‘flip-flopping’ over UK travel restrictions. ‘In the last couple of weeks, we have seen UK families booking their summer holidays even if it’s on an amber list and there’s some uncertainty,’ O’Leary said. Ryanair expects to carry 1.7 million passengers in May, rising to five million in June and eight or even ten million by July.
